This public lecture, co-sponsored by English, American Studies and Creative Writing and the NWCDTP, will be the opening public lecture of the 2023 Sexuality Summer School: '(Up) Against Nature'
We are pleased to be joined by Prof. Zakiyyah Iman Jackson (University of Southern California) to deliver a lecture titled 'Organs of War: Ecologies of Measurement and Dematerialization in Wangechi Mutu’s Histology of the Different Classes of Uterine Tumors'
Prof. Jackson's recent book 'Becoming Human: Matter and Meaning in an Antiblack World' (NYU Press, 2020) won the 2021 Gloria E. Anzaldúa Book Prize, given by the US National Women's Studies Association; the 2021 Harry Levin Prize, given by the American Comparative Literature Association; and the 2021 Lambda Literary Award in LGBTQ Studies
The book breaks new ground in Black antihumanist thought and attends to the racialization of the human/animal divide.
